    I was unaware that baking a cake involved having sex with the couple you were baking the cake for.

    Being that some people interpret the bible to mean having sex with the same sex to be a sin, I can't imagine what somebody would find sinful about doing commerce with others.

    Sorry, selling a cake doesn't involve you on an event.

    I know you are trying to twist it into that so you can say this action was justified, but people aren't that stupid.

    Laws and morality are not always connected to each other. For example, prostitution is legal in Nevada. What I'm basically saying is this-just because the gay couple had the legal right to sue the baker, it doesnt mean it was the morally correct decision for them to make. I'm also saying that whether or not his decision was legally considered discrimination doesnt mean it was wrong/immoral for him to do.

    I know exactly what you are saying and it still has no relevance to reality .. pretty much like most of your comments.

    Had you any idea of the amount of time I, and others, have spent trying to help this particular poster come to terms with how debating works (nearly a year) then you would understand that everyone has limits . .with this particular poster mine has been reached.

    BTW you calling me militant is the epitome of hypocrisy .... "jes sayin'"

    Actually, it is usually militant, because equality isn't something anyone gives you just because the US Constitution guarantees it. It's something everyone must fight for, and often fight to retain. The law provides you the necessary ordnance, but if you don't get out there and use it, you'll win no equality.

    equality is like respect it is earned
    demanding equity is the same as demanding respect you usually wont get it but what you will get is resentment

    Wrong. It is a founding principle of our nation.

    Equality is not earned, it is endowed by God. Unless of course you think the founding documents are just garbage.

    So far, there is no blood being spilt, so there isn't any militants involved. Just hyperbole.

    forcing your will upon another just because you can is not freedom, that's a dictatorship. how about we've had enough of you telling us what's it's going to be? How about we just ignore you and you can go someplace else?
    How about NO...............you can't dictate to me?

    Sadly equality must often be fought for, but that shouldn't be the case. In a just world everyone would get equality because everyone deserves it.

    If I were a liberal that would mean something, I am not, it doesn't .. you seem to be under some illusion that there are only two states in all this; conservative or liberal, woefully wrong as usual.

    Well you are entitled to your opinion no matter how erroneous it is.

    So you are a shadow, good to know.

    Got to be the funniest comment and the most hypocritical one posted on this forum for quite some time .. even funnier is that you won't even see the irony of your own statements.

    you previously won the hate award for tolerance............or intolerance
    Based on how you present you case, I'd say the real haters are the abominations..........

    Let me guess you are the judge for the award :roflol:

    Based on you having no case, I'd say the real haters are the ones like you.

    since the Liberals are on the offensive, I'd say they were the real haters and intolerant ones. I've already exposed that in here.........and you persist in supporting my claim by opening up your mouth. Remember the "test?" You failed miserably

    As I am not a liberal you will have to ask them about whether they are on the offensive of not.

    you would as the only defence you have is blame others for your own failings

    :roflol:

    You mean pointing out your bias and hate .. yep and I will continue to do so.

    You mean the backtracking you employed in an attempt to cover your own failures, like you 'mob rule' ideology .. that was funny.

    what it boils down to is that your attempts at making me out to be some sort of radical liberal are nothing more than an attempt to cover your own inadequacies and what annoys you even more is that I won't take the bait simply because your opinion of me is as irrelevant as a raindrop in the ocean .. now you have a nice day won't you.
